What considerations must be addressed when the LED whip lights are installed onto electric cars
26-10-2024
While LED whip lights can add a visually
appealing element to electric vehicles for eye catching performance, their
installation on the new energy vehicles requires careful consideration to
ensure safety.
These LED whip lights must be connected to DC power source with correct working voltage ranging from 12V to 80V DC, which is away from any high-voltage electronics on electric vehicles. If no battery power source cannot be provided directly, a power inverter must be available to convert the votage from high voltage to lower voltage within required range.
The total power consumption of the LED whip lights should not result in excessive battery drain, especially for long haul driving experience.
Proper wiring solutions must be adopted to prevent any unexpected short circuits and electrical fires. Power wires should be routed away from high-temperature conpartment and potentical mechanical damage.
Basically, our LED whip lights are IP65 waterproof, the direction of LED whip lights must be upward to avoid any moisture and potential rains damages, especially in harsh offroad driving adventures.
After finishing installations, the LED whip lights must be securely mounted to the electric vehicels so as to prevent them from getting loose or be dislodged during bumpy driving. So the sturdy brackets or camps and additional mounting bases must be involved.
As the LED whip light is assembled into plastic cashing, we should consider its flexibility and fragileness to avoid any negagive impact on the balance and handling of electric vehicels.
The length and placement of the LED whip lights should minimize any adverse effects on the vehicles aerodynamics, particularly at higher driving speeds on expressway.
By the way, you cannot forget one important issue that installing aftermarket accessories like LED whip lights may void the electric vehicles warranty. You need consult with the vehicle manufacturer or 4S car repair shop to understand any potential warranty implications.
The dazzling and dynamic color nature of LED whip lights could potentially distract the driver and nearby pedestrian, so their placement and flashing patterns should be carefully controlled by app or remote control to avert any traffic accidents.
In case of any emergency on the road, the flashing LED whip lights might potentially interfere with the emergency rescue team to assess the situation, so we we suggest that the LED whip lights must be disabled or deactivated that time.
Taking the above-mentioned issues into account and put them into practice, we are able to enhance the visual appeal and add unique touch to appearance of electric cars while safety and legal compliance is to be met.
